Sunset Cruise

Golden hour, from the water, with the engines off.

Volcanic silhouettes going dark, dolphins working the wake, and a deck laid out for it. The simplest thing a charter does, and often the one guests remember.

The short answer

What sunset cruise actually involves

Sun setting behind volcanic silhouettes, dolphins in the wake. Suits everyone; particularly romantic occasions. Season: Year-round. Equipment: champagne, canapés and a premium sound system on deck.

What makes it work

Three things that decide it

Engines off

The crew cuts the engines and lets the boat drift for the last of the light. It changes the sound of the whole evening.

Deck laid for it

Champagne, canapés and sound are set up before you notice. It is the one part of the day that is fully staged.

Kalong afterwards

Time it right and the flying-fox colony crosses overhead on the way back — twenty minutes of them, most evenings.

Timing planned around tide, light and the day boats

A private charter sets its own hours. Day boats run to a fixed schedule; you do not — which is usually the difference between doing this well and doing it in a queue. Specific inclusions depend on the yacht selected, our charter desk will confirm the full list for your chosen vessel.

Before you commit

Four questions the desk gets weekly

Is it a separate booking?

No — it is part of any charter, on whichever evening the weather suits. Standalone sunset runs from Labuan Bajo can be arranged.

What is served?

Champagne and canapés as standard, with the galley happy to do more if you say so in advance.

Will we see dolphins?

Often, working the wake on the way out. Never promised.

When is the best evening?

Any of them, year-round. Clear dry-season evenings give the sharpest silhouettes.
